Sensata Technologies announced the availability of the MHM5 and MHK5 absolute multi-turn encoders with either Ethernet/IP or ProfiNet interfaces for Factory 4.0 applications. They are available in ...

The AFS single-turn and AFM multi-turn absolute encoders with SSI (synchronous serial interface) output feature a new bearing design and metal code disc that extends the life of each encoder, helping ...

Size matters, and in the world of industrial automation, providing exceptional performance in a highly compact package can be an enormous advantage. With this in mind, encoder manufacturer POSITAL has ...

Eliminating buttons or switches, the HMT25 multi-turn absolute encoder integrates an electronic reset capability that initializes the component via software. By sending a timed pulse through the reset ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

The SMA3 contactless absolute encoder can be installed in rotary and linear applications and integrates the MARS Multi Adaptive Range Sensor. It enables the size of the pole to be adjusted in order to ...

Every encoder-based motion-control axis, such as a servo motor or step motor, must know where it is to be accurate. If it doesn’t, it will never reach its target position. But the encoder must first ...

When you need to record the angle of something rotating, whether it’s a knob or a joint in a robotic arm, absolute rotary encoders are almost always the way to go. They’re cheap, they’re readily ...
